text: (London, UK. - Remote or In-house):<p>We are currencytransfer.com, and we're all about saving people money when sending it overseas. Banks are our enemy, and we want to make the market more transparent, which while difficult is proving fruitful.<p>We're a tiny team at the moment, based in TechHub at the Google Campus building. We're seeking a Ruby on Rails developer with good and preferably demonstrable experience. Good, clean HAML/SASS (html/css is fine too) design is a big plus. We love new things, so we're happy to let you play with new toys to get the job done.<p>If you're interested please get in touch at stevan@mycurrencytransfer.com

text: Remote, ongoing work.<p>I'm looking for someone who can build web applications, preferably in PHP. The ultimate goal is to build a custom SAAS application that will be relatively simple in the beginning (MVP) and expand features in the future. I'm also the founder of another startup that constantly needs PHP development work on things such as custom photo uploading and custom checkout shopping cart pages using the whmcs.com API.
So what I'm looking for is someone who can communicate well, is available on a regular basis and would like to work with us on various different projects. You should know PHP very well, preferably knowledgeable in codeigniter, WordPress, WHMCS and building web applications.

    • Front-end (UI/UX) Developer for desktop web and/or mobile web
</code></pre>
Help us scale and meet demand for real-time location-aware planning. Our focus is on groups and events ("spur of the moment, on the fly"). We think we have something unique to offer the world and are launching a native iOS app in a few weeks and expanding to web and mobile web next.<p>The founders are straight shooters who value clear communication and getting stuff done. We're obssessed with creating a product that fills what we see as a major hole in social networking software -- helping people more efficiently connect in real-life with close networks so they can spend more of their time building and enriching real relationships.<p>Technologies:<p><pre><code>    • frontend: coffeescript, jQuery, backbone.js, socket.io, compass

    • backend: python, django, gevent, gunicorn, nginx, postgres
</code></pre>
We need some knowledge/experience optimizing and scaling some or all of the above technologies to handle growth, and building real-time single-page architecture sites or mobile web.<p>Immediate front-end needs include design and development of our desktop web and mobile web versions and giving thoughtful consideration to iPhone workflows as we get feedback from users.<p>Full-stack devs are needed to help optimize and expand our API, re-assess our real-time web architecture, add background processing for actions triggered by the API calls, optimize queries, and support what's going to potentially be a wild ride as we do launch events over the next few months.<p>gmail - davidmarble (main tech guy on the founding team)

We already have a developer, wich we intend to keep, but he has no time to correct all of the bugs in time because he works only part time as a freelancer.<p>Please drop me a line if you´re interested, with your curriculum, and how much does it cost your services per hour.<p>Thanks!
